“We are not surprised with Chef Duprat’s selection for Top Chef,” stated Hollywood Beach Marriott General Manager Josh Morris. “His incredible culinary technique and outstanding personality will undoubtedly make him a favorite on the show.”
A native of Haiti, Duprat began cooking alongside his grandmother as a means of survival on the island – fishing the waters and gathering fresh produce from their garden. Following his passion for cooking, Duprat studied at some of the most innovative culinary schools in the world, including the College Aimee Cesaire and La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine. He has also collaborated with such greats as Emeril Lagasse, Adam Savage, Ingrid Hoffman, and Pierre Doussan, to name just a few.

Absorbing the flavors and culture from his worldly travels, Duprat has combined these tastes with his own Haitian-Creole influences to create unique, flavorful menus for Heads of State, various dignitaries and world-class resort guests. A few of his signature dishes include, fresh ahi tuna served with a sweet orange mint dipping sauce; jumbo scallops with sweet chili tahini sauce and a watermelon and avocado slaw; rasta pasta with Caribbean jerk chicken; and his signature flourless chocolate cake.
After an extensive period with The Montauk Yacht Club in Long Island, NY, Chef Duprat joined the executive team at Ocean Properties, where he is currently. Located along of Florida’s east coast, the warm atmosphere is the perfect location for Duprat’s ever-changing menu of fresh seafood, steaks, and other entrees, all created with a touch of island flair.

Chef Duprat resides in Hollywood Beach, Fla., and is a member of the Black Culinarians Association, The American Culinary Federation, Real Men Charities, Flipany non-profit organization, and the College of Culinary Arts in Miami, Fla.
